Country Coach Prevost is a Class-A motorcoach that’s known for its strength of the chassis and ease of driving. At 40-feet, it’s a quite desirable length and all materials used are of top notch quality. The exterior graphics are certainly striking, whereas the cabin is an amazing sight in itself with glamour and glitz everywhere. You will feel like a film star living a dream. Choose from 6 exquisite floorplan designs, which will make life on the road quite comfortable. All floorplans come with 2 slideouts with computerized electronic controls, one in living area and one in master bedroom with king bed slide for maximizing your entertainment and dining area.

The Country Coach Prevost is designed and developed on Prevost XLII double slide chassis: Combination of high tensile steel and stainless steel integral body/frame with stainless steel exterior. Motivation for the Prevost comes from a DDEC IV Series 60 14.0 liter engine with three-speed engine cooling fan, which is good for pulsating 515 horsepower. The engine is mated to six-speed automatic Allison World HD4060 transmission.
